and worse public transport! :D

you can't compare trains to airplanes, automated trains are the safest way to travel.

i'm of mixed opinion on bike path speed limits, but my main opinion is that holy fuck we shouldn't even begin to think about it until "bicycle highways" are utterly fucking universal.
Just like with cars, the #1 thing we should do is physically design the infrastructure to encourage and force people to act safely and comfortably. If people are going too fast on a bike path then it's incredibly unlikely that they're just doing it because they're thrillseekers or whatever, they're doing it because they want to get to their destination quickly and either there's no other route available or the path in question isn't sufficiently discouraging high speeds.

At least fucking start with soft speed limits, put up signs and stuff so people know you're supposed to take it slow in an area!

shit like this is why i'm a transhumanist, i just want a body with all the obvious inefficiencies fixed.

you know what's funny? I think spongebob's brain is actually pretty damn close to how it actually works.

You've got tons of little "voices" doing quite niche tasks like recognizing faces or identifying flavours and forwarding that to another "voice" that links the flavour to memories etc etc, and a "main voice" that collates all that into coherent thought.

unironically 50% of my motivation for getting exercise, i want to be able to eat more
